You are not alone. We have the same here on our SMP machine. I thought
it was the SMP that was at fault, but now with your report, maybe it
is that after all. I can do lots of "make buildworld"s and "make world"s
with no problems, but "make release" kill it everytime. For now we are
back to an async mount on the release partition. The machine does not
have devfs, so it isn't that either.
